UPDATE: Trenton Officials say the officers were in an unmarked car at the time of the crash and were pursuing another vehicle that may have had an armed person inside. A separate white SUV was making a turn when the officer driving swerved in an attempt to avoid the SUV. The officers’ vehicle went out of control and struck a fire hydrant and utility pole.
They had to be flying through the city. I saw the cars after the accident. I didn’t know they were police, but I was thankful that none of our children were waiting at the curb. Stop racing through Trenton. That’s a route our kids take to school. The police were lucky to survive the crash. Take down information and radio ahead, wait for the driver to exit. I repeat, stop racing through Trenton. Too many kids!
